Of course, to do this we'd need to work out how to measure the quality per
word or post quality values...

The quality of a post can be coarsely approximated by applying quality metrics
to each individual word, giving an overall posting content quality. So, say, a
message involving quality words like "sensate", "post-expressionalism" and
"45.7%" would generate a higher quality score than a message involving words
like "lots", "stuff", and "wow". Indeed, one can even apply severe negative
volume metrics to such words as "wasssssssssuuupppp" and "insectoids", thus
reducing such any postings involving such words to hideously low levels,
unredeemable even in such contexts as "45.7% of all insectoid sets incorporate
post-expressionalism detectable to the more sensate builder". Any message
involving lots of numbers is almost certainly good, as these are either set
numbers, part numbers, or Richie's monthly statistics, so numbers will generate
high quality word ratings.

So obviously that post would receive a hideously low quality rating, because
it mentions "insectoids" twice....
